Ahead of a panel on investing for #OceanHealth, Christine Lagarde of @ecb.europa.eu, stressed that safeguarding the #Ocean and looking after the planet is a matter for all. She noted that “we are in dangerous waters” and called for #OceanAction, highlighting the immense cost of inaction. #BEFF2025

We’re stepping up the pressure on Russia as we prepare a next round of sanctions.

The End of the Postwar World Trump and Vance are sending a dark message to America’s allies.
